I thought we were talking about CP3 and extending him
But even if we were talking about Ayton or Bridges..they don't necessarily get the absolute max either. They could be negotiated with
And maybe no one on this board is making $30M a year
Point being...players have been known to play for less money to play for a contender...especially after cashing in already. Plus endorsements alone can compensate for getting a ring
We don't give up on Ayton. He showed a lot and is still improving. And he fits the "timelime" that some of you spout about.
Ayton isn't going anywhere....get off it. He's getting max or near max. We roll with him for better or worse....book it.
Can't live with Paul...can't live without him? I can't picture this team without Paul right now.
It's so easy to name some nameless star that fits the "timeline". If we give up on Paul there better be a ton of specifics...just sayin'
All we had to do is win the next two out of five and da da da...Hey they had the reigning 2x MVP that was playing out of his mind. I really don't even know what your point is. We didn't make the playoffs last year...now we're choke artists after making the finals?? Cripe...
Easy to say trade him without hearing names in return. Plus he's our only true big that produces. We'd better get a big back or our team just gets smaller and smaller.
That's ridiculous. Ayton is still improving. As long as he's improving and producing you dont dump him. He surprised many of us in these playoffs. Yeah he's had dud games too but so what...he's young. A lot of players had off games.
Every team knows how to guard Giannis effectively?? Wow...If that were the case then he never should have been MVP.
Giannis was all over the place...offensively and defensively. Just because a team here and there had some success against him was no automatic blueprint. Teams are built...
If at the beginning of the season someone said we'd make it to the finals and lose I think almost all suns fans would have taken that to the bank...cheerfully. I know perceptions and expectations changed over the course of the season and even more so over the playoffs but we have to remember...
